Explanation Concering Books The Boy Who Saw True: The Time-Honoured Classic of the Paranormal

He asked me if I believed in ghosts.
And I said, yes.
Then he wanted to know if I'd ever seen one, and I said, lots.
'Weren't you afraid?'
'Not when they're nice ghosts,' said I, 'but I don't like nasty ones ...'

'The Boy Who Saw True differs from all the hundreds of books I have read on Spiritualism and kindred subjects,' writes the celebrated occultist Cyril Scott in his preface to this remarkable work. 'Not one of them has ever displayed the characteristics of this highly diverting human document, with its naïve candours, its unconscious humour, its oscillations between the ridiculous and the exalted, and its power to convince, for the very reason that the young diarist never set out with the intention of convincing. Here was a precocious young boy born with clairvoyance who could see auras and spirits, yet failed to realise that other people were not similarly gifted.'

This is the Victorian diary of a boy whose extraordinary supernatural talent unfurls within these pages. A compelling read, The Boy Who Saw True is a time-honoured classic of the paranormal.

Assessment Of Books The Boy Who Saw True: The Time-Honoured Classic of the Paranormal

Amazing An amazingly , fantastic read.A must read to all skeptical and non skeptical people out their Would recommended to the whole world

Intriguing and trippy from beginning to end, this book kept my attention until the long dissertations from the "Elder Brother." This book would have much more credibility if the author's identity were known.

Read this book in one day! I couldn't put it down.. It's a fantastic insight into spiritual existence.

What an amazing journey! I was drawn to the book because of a review I read claiming its existence as a classic in spiritualism, clairvoyance and kindred subjects. As if that were not eye-catching enough for me, this book is from a most unusual perspective- a young boy of the late 1800s who decided to write a diary. The edition I am commenting on was printed in 1952, and commented upon by editor, Cyril Scott in order to shed more light on the circumstances of its mysterious history. The details

Most of the story comprises the diary of a young boy, living in the north of England at the end of the 19th Century. The author at first has no idea that his special gifts of clairvoyance and clairaudience are in the least unusual. He is innocent to the fact that not everyone may converse with the deceased, watch gnomes or fairies at play in the garden, or discern a person's health and temperament by the state of his aura. Indeed such things are recorded in the same breath as everyday household

This book presents itself as the diary of a Victorian boy who is clairvoyant. In the first half, there were some interesting vignettes about Victorian family life and the boy's coming to terms with his gift, but after that the story degenerated into totally useless and meaningless psychobabble, almost comic in nature, certainly nothing to justify its label as a time-honoured classic of the paranormal. Since it was a short book, I skimmed over the final pages to be able to say I read it. Other
